Too many open files

[Garrido, Alberto]

Kevin,
Thanks for your answer, I found the solution to the problem,
Our Firewall was denying all TCP connections from/to DNS's servers.
I can't see the relation between this, and "Too many open files" error.
That was the problem.

Rgds,

Alberto

Alberto...

You may get more ideas from Google's archive of Usenet messages for the
comp.protocols.dns.bind group:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&group=comp.protocols.dns.bind

Here's one in particular about "too many open files" that could be helpful:

Hi all
